Because Ben Monreal is in physics, a bunch of us got to take the cast of the Tony-award-winning play Copenhagen out to dinner one night (May 14) after the show. Seated, center: Len Cariou, winner of the Tony award for originating the title role in Sweeney Todd. Over his shoulder: Mariette Hartley, Emmy award winner (I won't tell you for what). At far left, Hank Stratton.

MIT's been having a lot of housing-related problems recently, some exacerbated by their decision to end the 33-year-old institution of freshman rush. On the day of the last-ever freshman rush (8/25/01), a number of hacks went up to commemorate the occasion. One was an addition to the inscription on the Building 10 facade.
The color's off, because the concrete sample used to choose the paint was unweathered. The intent was for it to look as though these letters had been carved into the concrete facade itself. --At least I assume that was the intent, because of course I had nothing to do with this illicit act myself. So goes my official story.
The presence of these perfectly innocent bystanders in this photo can only be attributed to the merest coincidence.
Fourth of July celebration, on Mem Drive, 2002. We look this loony because we're all balancing on a two-by-four. Among other reasons, I suppose.
My first blacksmithing project, starting from maybe a foot of 3/4"-square steel bar. It's unlovely in very many ways, but I learned so much that would make my next one so much better. Still it's kinda cool.
In close-up.
